How Language Shapes Thought | Lera Boroditsky

Really interesting video both as a whole but also some of the points made in the video that relate to the differences in language.

I still struggle with the idea that Chinese that uses 上/下 (up/down) whereas in English we would use next /previous (last).

@Miraz If you search on YouTube she has a Ted talk too, which I guess would be similar but briefer!

@Omrrc Curiously, akin to the posts on micro.blog, "next/previous" is translated into "下一页/上一页"
